The camera is handheld and moves too jerky to be normal speed.<BR/><BR/>My guess is that the robot's feet need to loosen the sticky before it takes the next "step". This process showing the action may take more time than the filmers felt could fit within a short snibbit of video. <BR/><BR/>ChrisChristopher R.
